Cool, wet, water

Everything flows! Films with the intoxicating element of water in supporting roles

Fire, earth, air and water: the four elements determine our world and also frequently take on leading roles in films. Water in particular repeatedly takes on a prominent leading role: as a unique life-giver, as a mighty catastrophe, as a philosophical projection surface or simply as a grandiose backdrop: Water is a natural and cinematic experience at the same time! Whether as a fast-paced seafaring adventure or a suggestive deep-sea trip, whether as a desert drama in which a man dying of thirst pleads "Water!", or even as a crime thriller about a bank robbery because the perpetrators are not "liquid" at the moment - without water, the film also dries up.
